What reading level is An Introduction to Folk-Lore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was rain. Ilmarinen, in the Fin- nish epic, forges the firmament of finest steel, and sets in it the moon and stars. The New Zealander thinks there is a hole or crack in the solid firma- ment, through which the rain can be let down from the reservoir above. The view entertained by the AN INTRODUCTION TO FOLK-LORE Greeks and other early nations was essentially the same. The Egyptians believed the sky to be like an iron ceiling, either flat or vaulted, and to corre- spond in extent and shape... with the earth beneath it. The stars were lamps hung from it. This rec- tangular ceiling stood on a pillar at each of the four corners — the roof-tree of primitive nations.
Or, on the other hand, the practice of cave- burial would engender the conception of a sub- terranean other-world, not necessarily as the abode of evil spirits, for the barbaric mind does not trouble itself with the destiny, only with the whereabouts, of the soul, and has no idea of a devil or a hell, because the moral nature of the savage has not so developed as to enable him to form theories of retribution.
